We have a new teacher : you show the picture

Ss ask and answer

Now you have got a picture and binoculars

Can you see  a guitar/ a ball/a car / a computer/ CDs / a monster doll /oranges /a school bag ?

Let’s play a game

Look at the picture again and try to remember where these thing are : Near the bed , on the chair….

 There’s / There are (put on the board ) a book / books

 SS Make a line . The rule :

Make  there’s /there are sentences  about the things in the picture , For example ;There’s a schoolbag near the bed  , Then ask the questions to the other group : Where is? Where are …?

The correct answer gets a  point and the correct question gets half of the point.
